Adventure sports like paragliding add a different feel to your vacation. A few of us only choose travel destinations based on the adventure sports we can experience. One such adventure sport that gets the heart racing is paragliding, where one jumps from a great height and glides through the air. Many places in India offer extraordinary experiences in paragliding, and now, Jammu and Kashmir have joined the bandwagon.
